Popular event organised by Falmouth Wheelers as a gentler alternative to A Cornish 100. An undemanding ride taking in the beaches of Falmouth and then out into the countryside visiting Stithians Reservoir. This ride offers an excellent introduction to Audax riding.

A belated round-up of the events of 2023 and links to results.
After starting our season with the Falmouth events on the 2nd of April, next up were the 50km, 100km and 200km events from Perranwell on the 21st of May. All three rides were well supported and the weather was kind. Some nice photos of the Lizard and the Camel 200km from St Austell Wheelers and of Peter’s Point 50km from Newquay Cycling
The Mines and Mineral Railways on- and off-road events followed on the 18th of June, and again we were lucky with the weather. Pasties and cream teas went down well, and the off-roaders were no muddier than usual.
The final events of the season were the 200km and 300km events from Penzance on the 25th June. There was just one rider on the challenging Many Rivers to Cross 300km event, and although it was not run as a Paris-Brest-Paris qualifier this year, it nevertheless preserves its record: so far, every PBP entrant who’s completed this ride has also completed their PBP. Lucy Bufton finished both with little time to spare, and her account of her Many Rivers to Cross ride appears in the Winter 2023 edition of Arrivée, the AUK magazine.

As usual the Audax Kernow season started splendidly with A Bunny Hop and A Cornish 100 organised by Falmouth Wheelers.
The routes and the refreshments were much enjoyed by a good number of first timers as well as the many riders for whom this is an annual fixture.
